/ Data Applications
With the growing demand for remote telemetry applications including;
remote monitoring, data transfer/retrieval and remote configuration
Beam has developed a range of Satellite Terminals and accessories
to meet a broad range of applications for various markets.
With the integration of a Beam satellite terminal you can have
access to seamless communications using circuit switched data,
SMS or Short Burst Data services on the Iridium network. The Beam
communication equipment can be easily accommodated into your existing
infrastructure or for new deployments as a primary means of telemetry
communications.

Applications |
|
|
|
|
|
|  Beam
terminals can be deployed in a broad range of telemetry applications
including;
- Meter Reading
- Data Interchange
- Utility Management
- Data Transfer
- Remote control / Configuration
- Monitoring of equipment
- Alarm monitoring / alerting functionality
- Post even diagnostics
- Routine maintenance of equipment

Modem
Interface: |
|
|
|
|
| The Beam
satellite terminals provide a Hayes compatible modem interface
and support an extensive AT command set to either accommodate integration
into your existing infrastructure or to operate as a stand-alone
terminal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There
is a wide range of Beam satellite communication terminals that
can be deployed into various installations to meet individual requirements.
These range from basic Data only device for simple remote data
transmission to or from a remote location through to intelligent
voice and data modules that can be integrated into fixed sites
offering a stand-alone VPN to the remote location with the convenience
of voice communications integrated to a PBX if required. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 All
Beam terminals support all of the Iridium Data services available.
This then provides a flexible means by which to communicate using
one or more of the following protocols; Circuit Switched Data,
Short Message Service, Direct Internet and Short Burst Data.

|
Data
Communication Options: |
|
|
|
|
Circuit Switched Data:
Using the Beam terminal in any location a mobile
originated data call can be made in order to establish a circuit
switched data call. The data call originated on the Beam terminal
can easily be terminated on another Beam terminal or PSTN infrastructure
for gaining accesses to corporate LAN or your own Internet provider.
There are significant cost savings for originating an Iridium
call form a Beam terminal as compared to the PSTN.
Short Burst Data:
The Beam terminals can support both mobile originated
and mobile terminated Short Burst Data messages. Short burst
data is ideal for applications where there is a high frequency
of small packet of data being sent to and or from a remote locations.
Short Message Service:
The Beam terminals can support both mobile originated
and mobile SMS messaging. The SMS service supports 160 characters
per message and can be easily delivered to another Iridium service,
an email address or an alternate terrestrial service as available
from some providers.

|
|
|
|
Data Compatibility |
|
|
|
|
| All
beam terminals support a common Hayes Compatible Modem interface
for data connectivity. The AT command set for the terminals also
allows for flexible integration to various applications and equipment
types. |
|
|
|
|
Global Coverage |
|
|
|
|
| The Iridium
Satellite network provides a robust network for supporting a global
tracking application, with global coverage from pole to pole and
the use of low powered antennas that are omni directional this
makes a Beam TrackALERT system your desired installation for any
application. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Whilst all data services are available on any Beam device, selected
Beam terminals offer varying voice service features. Any voice
supported terminal will allow the use of an Intelligent Handset,
however the Beam Remote Satellite Terminal, RST100, allows the
use of standard phone equipment through its intelligent RJ11
connectivity. This means that standard cordless, corded or PBX
systems can be integrated for voice communications on this terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
TrackALERT
Interface: |
|
|
|
|
The Beam TrackALERT terminals are an intelligent Alert / Tracking
and Monitoring unit all in one and are available for all Beam
communication terminals. TrackALERT allows the deployment of
various applications, including vehicle, asset, and or asset
tracking, monitoring and condition reporting as well as remote
control and configuration. Alert/Alarm monitoring applications
can also be simply deployed.
For detailed information on the Beam TrackALERT terminals see
TrackALERT brochure for detailed information.

|
|
|
Power
Input
|
|
|
|
|
The Beam terminals support 11-32V DC power input. An AC plug-pack
is supplied with all terminals, which therefore makes it very
easy to connect to mains or DC power. The use of an RST050 Beam
Battery Back-up is also an ideal accessory where communication
needs to be guaranteed.
|
|
|
|
|
Connection
of Other Equipment/Devices |
|
|
|
|
Beam terminals will support the connection of a third party
device through the DB9 Data connection, enabling Data Loggers,
Meter Readers and other terminal devices to be easily connected
to Satellite Communications. Beam terminals generally supports
engine management type monitoring devices to enable communication
through the satellite network via SMS, SBD or circuit switched
data.
|
|
|
|
|
Remote
Diagnostics |
|
|
|
|
Using SMS or SBD with
the intelligence built into the Beam RST100 and RST200 terminals
it is possible to remotely configure the communication terminal
as well, run diagnostic checks, check signal strength, temperature
and call logs as well as the ability to have automated reporting
for “still alive” reporting if required. It is also
possible to perform some simple polling of a device plugged into
the Log Port of the terminal. This can be a very cost effective
means of low-level position and condition reporting. |
|
|
|
|
Antenna
Selection |
|
|
|
|
Whilst
the installation and integration to the terminal is very straight
forward, selecting the appropriate antenna and antenna cable for
the installation is also important to ensure greatest call quality
over the satellite network. There is a range of suitable antenna
installation types for various applications. In order to maximize
the signal penetration in some locations the antenna can be installed
some distances away from the main terminal in a more appropriate
location.
The maximum loss for an antenna cable installed to any Iridium
device is 3db maximum. Exceeding this loss will affect reliability
and call quality.

|
Typical Installation |
|
|
|
|
| Power Requirements:
For many remote deployments the power consumption
of remote terminal devices is very important. The Beam terminals
provide flexibility for the integration of the Beam Battery Backup
or the use of Solar implementations where required. Most of the
terminals cater for a n 11-32V Dc input to cater for a wide range
of installation requirements and power management ability.
Environmental Conditions:
The Beam terminals are approved for use in
harsh environmental conditions selected terminals has full compliance
for extreme heat, cold, humidity, corrosion and vibration to
provide peace of mind for specific applications. This certification
also covers the Beam Battery Back up terminal.
Installations:
Various installation options can be deployed
in the remote site as well as the head office location. The benefit
of a head office installation is for reduced Iridium to Iridium
data call costs.
